could you also bind turning on arrow keys? that would make the controls really familiar with other space shooter games i have played before. it would make it feel more natural for me usign a keyboard left hand for space and right for arrow keys. thank you so much for sharing. it ran super good in my browser. performance off the roof :)

Thanks! I should make it more clear (or maybe just change the defaults), but from the Main Menu if you go to Options, there is a way to re-map the controls. But yeah maybe I should just change the defaults

Simple look and clean, although not much going on but it is to be expected. I feel like the ship is super fast, I press W and I zoom into the wall. I am wondering if it's because of either high frame rate and screen hertz.

Thanks for playing! I’ll have to look into that ship speed problem

Simple but clean aesthetic, I like it! Disabling anti-aliasing on the text font can make the game look even better.

Those worm spawners bring the satisfying touch of originality to this genre of game. I’m not a huge of having to repeatedly smash a button to shoot however.

Thanks for playing and for the useful feedback! I’ll work to include that in the next update

Fun little SHMUP, I like the simplistic art style and soundscape, you are 100% correct in saying that it is chaotic because it for sure gets to be that way. Great job and Best of Luck!

Nice classic style game!

  • Innovation – Uses the old formula but adds a lot more particles which is cool :D
  • Fun – I'm always bad at Asteroid controls, but once I got the hang of it, it was fun to control the ship!
  • Graphics – The black and white words perfectly and makes everything very clear.  I wonder if a little bit of bloom would look nice too.
  • Audio – Simple and cool sounds, and a cool music track.  Some ship accelerate and decelerate sounds would be nice 
  • Polish – It does look very clean!

Great job updating a classic game!  Please check out my game if you like Metroidvanias or platformers :D
